| [1]And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, |
[No book] |
| [2]Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it, |
[No book] |
| [3]and say to it, |
[No book] |
| [4]And I will cause desolation in thy cities, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I am the Lord. |
[No book] |
| [5]Because thou hast been a perpetual enemy, and hast laid wait craftily for the house of Israel, with the hand of enemies with a sword, in the time of injustice, at the last: |
[No book] |
| [6]Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord God, verily thou hast sinned even to blood, therefore blood shall pursue thee. |
[No book] |
| [7]And I will make mount Seir a waste, and desolate, and I will destroy from off it men and cattle: |
[No book] |
| [8]and I will fill thy hills and thy valleys with slain men, and in all thy plains there shall fall in thee men slain with the sword. |
[No book] |
| [9]I will make thee a perpetual desolation, and thy cities shall not be inhabited any more: and thou shalt know that I am the Lord. |
[No book] |
| [10]Because thou saidst, The two nations and the two countries shall be mine, and I shall inherit them; whereas the Lord is there: |
[No book] |
| [11]therefore, as I live, saith the Lord, I will even deal with thee according to thine enmity, and I will be made known to thee when I shall judge thee: |
[No book] |
| [12]and thou shalt know that I am the Lord. I have heard the voice of thy blasphemies, whereas thou hast said, The desert mountains of Israel are given to us for food; |
[No book] |
| [13]and thou hast spoken swelling words against me with thy mouth: I have heard them. |
[No book] |
| [14]Thus saith the Lord; When all the earth is rejoicing, I will make thee desert. |
[No book] |
| [15]Thou shalt be desert, O mount Seir, and all Idumea; and it shall be utterly consumed: and thou shalt know that I am the Lord their God. |
